About as useful as a chocolate teapot. They should stick to extortionate painted aluminium sticks, the catapult is a ridiculous heap of junk.

Yeah the twist is a nightmare. My elastic doesn't snap but it comes off the little plastic bit on the pouch and is a nightmare to keep putting back on.

Bought a drennan feeder catapult. Smaller pouch but I find it better!

My jag one is pretty much intact after a dozen floater trips. That's pretty good to be fair. However I end up with cuts on my fingers every session because of the way the pouch slaps back. It's savage tbh.

Drennan in the bag as a back up but they are let down for the reasons below. Korda fairly good.

The perfect catapult does not exist....but the Jag one is nearly there, as long as you don't mind pain.

It seems to be use, you need to have a 90 degree angle to the frame when drawing it back, othwise it's bloody knuckles.

To be fair I use a different catty for floater fishing.

I do use one for general baiting as I think it's massively underused nowadays, I find the Korda heavy alright, still rasps the knuckles as they al do, a simple think gsrdening glove comes with me of putting in a lot of bait though as I'm no sadist
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
